Arabic language
Translation from and into Arabic
Documents for the Gulf states, Egypt, Jordan and Iraq, with attention to legalisation and to how names are written.
How we work
Arabic work has two features that make mistakes expensive. The first is the spelling of a name: Arabic handles vowels differently from the Latin alphabet, so the same name can appear in several forms; the institution compares the translation against the passport, so we fix the spelling at once and keep it identical across the file. The second is legalisation: several Arab states have not acceded to the Hague Convention, and there consular legalisation applies instead of an apostille, with its own sequence of steps.

Frequently asked questions
Does the apostille apply in every Arab country?
No. Several states have not signed the Hague Convention, and they require consular legalisation — a longer, multi-stage procedure. Name the destination country and we will tell you which route applies to it.
How will my name be written in Arabic?
We agree the spelling before starting — from the international passport and from how the name has already appeared in your earlier documents. One spelling across the file matters more than a 'better' one in a single document.
Does Arabic differ between countries?
Documents use Modern Standard Arabic, which is the same everywhere — that is the language of official record-keeping. Dialects matter for spoken communication.
Is the document's layout preserved?
Yes. Arabic is written right to left, so tables and forms need separate layout work — it is part of the translation, not an extra.
